Spell damage should only be a tiny portion of your DPS output. As ENH you should be getting your damage from white and yellow hits from your weapons. Thus, Ehn/REsto, with it's +hit damage, is much more reliable. Without SHamanistic Rage, you won't have Mana regen. Sorry, not buying this one.

Don't forget that 30% threat reduction only applies to melee too. Ele/enh (or suicide spec) only has one advantage over enh/resto, and that's more earth shocks=more interrupts.

The myth of Elemental Devastation contributing to more dps is that, a myth. There's no gear you can wear that will bring you over 6-8% spell crit, so you'll hardly ever see the benefits of that.

Elitist jerks have done the math and the math, sir, proves your build wrong. Also, the dps you get from white hits from the hit talent points in resto is superior to the threat-ladden dps from elemental. But nothing like trying the build for a heroic or two and seeing if it makes a difference for others, I guess.

I HAVE tried this spec and I keep coming back to it as my gear gets better. Enh / resto is simply much, much better.
